Well this whole thread has pretyt much been wrong simpleplan,GC etc.. are pop rock i really dont think you can clump the really poppy ataris into punk at all.Punk has nothing to do with half the bands thrice mentioned as stated before but whatever....

I half agree, Blink 182 sing about anything and just apply the punk sound and feel. Simple Plan IMO is emo because - from what I have heard, because all the singer does is whine about how ... well...

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Thats from the "Welcome To My Life" song. To me that is what makes them Emo. Plus the appearance of all the band members lol, but that has less to do with it.

That is one of the worst songs ever written. I hate it so much. But its not emo. Its pop, with guitars and a drumkit. And black clothes.

Thrice:

Since you voiced your opinion, I'd like to voice mine.

I don't agree with you on anything.
& I think Thrice is the most horrible band ever.

Now for the facts.
None of them bands are emo or punk.
They're all pop punk.

Emo doesn't stand for "emotional" music.
It was the name given to bands that played emotional "hardcore"
In no way are any of those bands hardcore, nor anything close to emocore/screamo.

Not to mention, emocore and screamo are both being classified wrong by the mainstream.

Btw, remember me, Thrice?

Am I gonna get banned now? Because you're a biased idiot with ignorant opinions of music.

Dude, I know what you're saying about emo is the truth but do you have to be so angry. You're just gonna get banned again.

Over nothing aswel. Thrice hasnt even been here in ages, and probably wont come back for months, if he does ever. Just leave this guy be, he might not even do anything once he realises Thrice isnt here anymore. If he's got half a brain, anyway.
